Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that the U.S. is going to be involved in the war in Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, and our leaders just keep pouring billions upon billions of dollars into the conflict.  But the truth is that the war is not going very well for Ukraine.  After sending them lots of shiny new vehicles and enormous mountains of military equipment in recent months, U.S. officials pressured the Ukrainians to launch an ill-advised “counter-offensive” so that the public could see that some “progress” was being made.

Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, the Russian defensive positions are extremely well prepared at this stage, and thousands upon thousands of young Ukrainians have been needlessly slaughtered.  An Irish volunteer that recently returned home told Sky News what life is really like on the front lines at this point…

Sky News international correspondent John Sparks spoke to an Irish volunteer, Rhys Byrne, who has been fighting on the frontline in the east of Ukraine for 17 months and is now leaving Ukraine “due to witnessing atrocities,” Sparks reports. Byrne called the fighting he witnessed “horrific.”

“On ‘Zero Line’ it’s horror. It’s horror. There is just a genocide. It’s slaughter”, says Rhys Byrne, codename ‘Rambo’, a 28-year-old from Dublin. Byrne fought for the 59th brigade in the Ukrainian territorial army, where he operated a heavy machine gun, Sparks reports.

“There are dead people everywhere. Russians dead. Ukrainian people dead…. the biggest problem we get when we’re going into trenches is stepping over all the dead bodies that are already there from the last people [who] went in – that kind of stuff really haunts you.”

Try to imagine what it would be like to be there.

How would you feel if there were dead bodies all around you for as far as the eye could see?

Sadly, our military leaders don’t seem to care much about all of the Ukrainians that are dying.

They are more than happy to fight this war “to the last Ukrainian” as long as U.S. troops don’t have to die.

If the American people truly understood what was going on over there, a lot more of them would be pushing for a peaceful solution.

During an interview on Tuesday, Donald Trump tried to get people to understand the scale of the carnage that we are witnessing.  According to Trump, “hundreds of thousands of people are dying”…

Trump again reiterated that he wants the war to end immediately, noting “You have cities with no buildings standing. It looks like just a demolition zone. It’s so horrible and, you know, and then they’ll say two people were hurt.”

“No. Hundreds of people and thousands of people were killed. You’re gonna find out when this whole thing is over that the number of people killed is far greater than they tell you,” Trump further urged.

He continued, “They’re not telling you the truth. Many, many thousands, hundreds of thousands of people are dying. Their cities are being obliterated.”

So many lives are being needlessly ended.

The vast majority of them are either Ukrainians or foreign mercenaries that have been hired to fight for the Ukrainians.

After the horrifying losses that the Ukrainians have suffered during their recent “counter-offensive”, some western news sources are now changing their tune about this war.  In fact, a major British news source just posted an article entitled “Ukraine and the West are facing a devastating defeat”…

Since Putin’s tanks crossed into Ukrainian territory last year, three options have been on the table for how this war would end: victory for one side or the other, a frozen conflict or a negotiated settlement. The public comments made this week by Oleksiy Arestovych, a former advisor to Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, appear to indicate the last may be more likely than previously thought.

Arestovych raised the prospect of Ukraine making territorial concessions in return for the rest of the country receiving the most cast-iron security guarantee there is: Nato membership. These comments have proved highly controversial. Not only would such an outcome be unpalatable to many in Kyiv and other European capitals, raising it as a possibility highlights a growing uncertainty about the long-term sustainability of the war – particularly amongst Ukraine’s western backers.

But there will be no peace talks.

The Biden administration is going to make sure of that.

So the fighting will continue, and now the Russians have gathered an absolutely massive force for an offensive of their own…

Russia is amassing vast numbers of troops and equipment along the northern frontline in Ukraine, Kyiv has warned.

Serhii Cherevatyi, spokesperson for the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told local television that Moscow had gathered more than 100,000 troops on the Lyman-Kupiansk axis, as well as 900 tanks, 555 artillery systems and 370 multiple rocket launchers.

It is being reported that this Russian force has already advanced 2 kilometers in the direction of Kupiansk, and a foreign news source is telling us that the Ukrainians have already “lost more than 55 square kilometers of territory”…

Already the Russian troops advanced in the last 24 hours 2 kilometers along the front and 1.5 kilometers in depth. In the last 3 days the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost more than 55 square kilometers of territory.

At the same time, the Russian troops of the 21st Mechanized Guards Division have created two bridgeheads which they intend to unite.

Russian forces crossed the Zerebets River, southwest of Karmazinovka in Svatovo and west of Novovodyane. The Ukrainians later confirmed the crossing of the Zerebets River by the Russians.

The Russians now see the city of Kupyansk.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

The Biden administration assured us that the Ukrainian “counter-offensive” would be a great success. But now the Russians are gaining ground.

So what is the next move for the Biden administration? Are they ready to commit U.S. troops to the fight? And would U.S. troops actually be ready for such a fight?

Over the past few years, the Biden administration has turned the U.S. military into one giant social experiment.

For example, one 18-year-old female recruit claims that she was actually forced to shower with and sleep between “two individuals who were supposedly changing from male to female”…

According to Rounds, the military recruit, 18, is complaining about being forced to sleep in between “two individuals who were supposedly changing from male to female.” The girl also has to shower with the individuals and reported significant distress about the matter. The individuals housed with the 18-year-old had initiated chemical interventions to change genders, but without having reassignment surgery, their genitalia were fully intact.

And according to an incredibly shocking document that was just leaked, transgender recruits are being given all sorts of special privileges…

1. Taxpayer funded “care” for transgender service members includes:

• speech/voice therapy
• cross-sex hormones,
• laser hair removal,
• voice feminization surgery,
• facialcontouring,
• body contouring,
• breast/chest surgery (“upper surgery”)
• genital mutilation surgery (“lower surgery”).
• Psychological counseling

2. Service members who identify as transgender may receive a waiver for grooming and uniform standards.
3. Service members who identify as transgender may receive an indefinite waiver for physical fitness standards. This waiver often becomes a de facto permanent situation, and the transgender identifying service member just has to renew the exemption request every six months.
4. Service members who identify as transgender will be considered “non-deployable” for up to 300 days while taking hormones for their “transition” period. Again, given that these hormones are often required for life, this may render the transgender identifying service member as permanently unable to deploy.

If you will recall, the U.S. military couldn’t even successfully evacuate from Afghanistan before the Taliban had taken over the entire country.

But now we are going to fight the Russians?

One way or another, our soldiers better get ready, because more war is coming.

Less than a week ago, Joe Biden boldly declared to the entire world that “we will not waver” and that we will be involved in the conflict in Ukraine for “as long as it takes”.

Biden is quite serious about trying to win this war, and in the process he is going to get a whole lot more people killed.

Did Joe Biden know the submersible had been lost hours after the tragedy? Did his regime withhold the information to cover up for various bombshells pertaining to his son’s transgressions, not to mention his own impeachment?

Jack Posobiec thinks so:

The WSJ is reporting the US Navy detected the Titan implosion on Sunday but Biden held the news until today’s whistleblower testimony on Hunter. The entire thing was a distraction op.

They let everyone think those people were alive!

And Hunter's plea deal too

They let everyone think those people were alive!

— Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) June 22, 2023

Hunter Biden has had multiple stories haunt him this week, but the top story for most corporate media outlets has been the OceanGate crisis, which has now become the OceanGate tragedy. The Biden stories were known by the White House ahead of time. Did they time out the release of the truth to distract from their own foibles?

According to WSJ:

A top secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the U.S. Navy suspected was the Titan submersible implosion hours after the submersible began its voyage, officials involved in the search said.

The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official. Shortly after the submersible’s disappearance Sunday, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the Coast Guard commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.

Let’s be crystal clear. The fact that they’re revealing this information now tells us they withheld the information for a reason, and that reason was almost certainly to keep the submersible in the news through most of this week.

Here’s How It Went Down

You can call this a theory if you’d like because technically speaking it is, but I’d bet good money that I’m right about what has happened over the past five days.

Someone at the WSJ received a leak about the implosion being heard. They contacted the Pentagon for confirmation and sought a secondary source. They were commanded to bury the story until further notice because the White House needed the crisis to stay a crisis before a properly timed tragedy announcement was made.

We know this for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, there is zero reason to leak the information to the WSJ today. It’s a top secret program whose presence reveals important defense capabilities to our enemies. Now they know we can hear a small submersible’s implosion in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean at great depths. That’s information you don’t want leaked under normal circumstances.

That tells us the WSJ had procured the information before — likely Monday at the latest. With their hands tied, the Pentagon made a deal that the information could be posted but only after WSJ was cleared to do so. Today’s multiple Biden revelations triggered the discovery of the debris and subsequent news about our top secret capabilities.

The second reason we know this is how it went down is the ludicrous notion that officials heard “knocking.” This information served one purpose and one purpose only: To keep people hoping for a miracle and glued to their news sources for more information, completely ignoring the various scandals the White House wanted covered up.

Had reports of knocking not been released, everyone would have assumed the worst by Monday or Tuesday. But a glimmer of hope and chance of a miracle made the story even more compelling through Wednesday. By Thursday, all of the negative Biden bombshells had dropped unnoticed, so a version of the truth was released. The WSJ was granted permission to reveal their top secret information, which was reluctantly promised by the Pentagon in exchange for being reluctantly delayed by the WSJ.

This is who we’re dealing with, folks. We have a current administration with no shame, no boundaries, and nothing but desperate coverups keeping them going every day.

With that said, here’s Michael…

The verdict is in.  Joe Biden is the worst president in the entire history of the United States, and that is really saying something because we have had some absolutely horrible presidents.  Just about everything that Biden has done since he entered the White House has turned out badly, and our once great nation is now barreling down a deeply self-destructive path.

If we do not reverse course, our country is not going to have a future, and more Americans than ever are losing faith in the federal government.  In fact, a brand new survey has discovered that a lack of faith in the government in Washington is motivating large numbers of Americans to hoard “water, food, warm clothing, weapons, and cash” for the extremely chaotic times that are ahead of us…

People watching President Joe Biden’s shaky grip on Washington have lost faith the government will protect them in a doomsday event, and that’s driving a national prepper movement.

With the Doomsday Clock the closest to midnight it has ever been, over 70% in a new survey of 6,200 said they “do not have faith in the government” in a catastrophe such as a nuclear war or even climate-change-fueled disaster.

As a result, many are hoarding water, food, warm clothing, weapons, and cash to help them get through the worst days of a doomsday event.

These days, companies that are helping people get prepared for what is coming are generating more revenue than ever before.

In fact, the emergency food industry now generates approximately 500 million dollars in sales each year.

And it turns out that those that are in the 40-year-old to 65-year-old age bracket are the most likely to be prepping…

Those aged 40-65 are more likely to be prepping, and twice as many men as women are getting ready for a disaster.

Just what that disaster will be is dividing the nation. Some 55% cited climate change, 36% virus and disease, and 25% a nuclear attack. But there were other concerns. Over 15% are concerned about an asteroid strike, 15% about a robot or artificial intelligence “takeover,” and 7.5% about a “zombie apocalypse.”

It doesn’t surprise me that middle-aged Americans are the most likely to be prepping.

I have noticed that a lot of young people under the age of 40 just don’t understand the changes that we are witnessing all around us.

But those of us that are a little bit older and a little bit wiser can see where global events are taking us.

At this point, even middle-aged celebrities such as Josh Duhamel are preparing for what life will be like after things “hit the fan”…

“Transformers” and “Las Vegas” star Josh Duhamel has spoken out about becoming a doomsday prepper, stating that he’s planning on protecting his family if the “s*** hits the fan” in Los Angeles. The actor, who has starred in the TV show “Las Vegas,” gave an interview in which he explained, “I’ve become a bit of a doomsday prepper, I guess.”

Duhamel told the website Inverse, “I’m learning how to hunt. I fish.” He added, “Suddenly I had 54 acres out there. So I had two cabins, one with no electricity or water. They both have wells and electricity now, but they’re both really small.”

Overall, it has been estimated that over 20 million Americans are “actively planning” for some sort of a major emergency…

In 2020, more than 20 million Americans, nearly 7 percent of all U.S. households, were actively planning for an emergency, according to the latest analysis of Federal Emergency Management Agency data.

Plus, those stockpiling canned goods in the cupboards, caching ammunition and hoarding toilet paper now come in all stripes – from suburban ‘guardian moms’ to multi-millionaire tech gurus.

Since that figure is a few years old, I have a feeling that the true number would be significantly higher now.

And speaking of “tech gurus”, a group in Japan has actually come up with a survival plan that is truly bizarre.

It is a floating city that can hold up to 40,000 people, and some are calling it “a real life Noah’s Ark”…

TECH boffins have unveiled plans for a bizarre floating city likened to a real life Noah’s Ark.

The ocean-based metropolis would provide a “self-sufficient habitat” for 40,000 people, designers in Japan say.

It looks cool, but even once construction is started it will take many years before it is finally ready.

And even though the designers claim that it would be “resilient to an apocalypse”, I severely doubt that it could withstand being hit by a giant tsunami…

The developers, N-Ark, even claim the zone – named Dogen City – would be resilient to an apocalypse.

Measuring 4km in circumference, the plan would be for inhabitants to be able to get to any point in the zone within an hour.

At least they are trying to do something.

And the truth is that we should all be trying to do what we can, because all of us can see that our world is getting a little bit more crazy with each passing day.

This week, I was absolutely horrified to learn that three teens actually tried to light sticks of dynamite inside a Philadelphia grocery store…

The Philadelphia Police Department is searching for at least three teenagers who allegedly attempted to light sticks of dynamite inside a grocery store, according to reports.

The incident occurred at the Fresh Grocer located on the 5300 block of Chew Avenue in the city’s Germantown section on June 20 at 5:10 P.M., local news station Fox 29 reported.

Police have said that a member of security called the police after seeing teens roughly between the ages of 16 and 19 years old wearing all-black clothing “light sticks of dynamite within the store,” according to the report.

Our entire society is slowly but surely going completely nuts.

It is almost as if we are all stuck inside a really bad science fiction movie and we can’t get out.

Unfortunately, we are only in the very early chapters of this nightmare.  Things will eventually get much worse than they are now.

So if you have already been prepping, don’t stop.

If you have not been prepping, I would encourage you to get moving, because the clock is ticking.

The biggest mistake we could make as America First patriots is to assume the Biden-Harris regime is failing. By our standards, they are failing miserably. But if their goal is the destruction of our nation, which I believe it is, then their track-record so far is stellar.

Being a Democrat with bad policies is common. But when EVERYTHING an administration does takes us in the wrong direction, we have to question their motives. I believe they are working on behalf of the globalist elite cabal to bring for the “Liberal World Order.” To do that, they need the United States to drop to the level of the rest of the world… or disappear completely. With that said, here’s the article by Victor Davis Hanson:

• Why is French President Emmanuel Macron cozying up to China while trashing his oldest ally, the United States?
• Why is there suddenly talk of discarding the dollar as the global currency?
• Why are Japan and India shrugging that they cannot follow the United States’ lead in boycotting Russian oil?
• Why is the president of Brazil traveling to China to pursue what he calls a “beautiful relationship”?
• Why is Israel suddenly facing attacks from its enemies in all directions?
• What happened to Turkey? Why is it threatening fellow NATO member Greece? Is it still a NATO ally, a mere neutral, or a de facto enemy?
• Why are there suddenly nonstop Chinese threats toward Taiwan?
• Why did Saudi Arabia conclude a new pact with Iran, its former archenemy?
• Why was Egypt secretly planning to send rockets to Russia to be used in Ukraine, according to leaked Pentagon papers?
• Since when did the Russians talk nonstop about the potential use of a tactical nuclear weapon?
• Why is Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador bragging that millions of Mexicans have entered the United States, most of them illegally? And why is he interfering in U.S. elections by urging his expatriates to vote for Democrats?
• Why and how, in just two years, have confused and often incoherent President Joe Biden and his team created such global chaos?

Let us answer by listing 10 ways by which America lost all deterrence:

1) Biden abruptly pulled all U.S. troops from Afghanistan. He left behind to the Taliban hundreds of Americans and thousands of pro-American Afghans. Biden abandoned billions of dollars in U.S. equipment, the largest air base in central Asia—recently retrofitted at a cost of $300 million—and a $1 billion embassy. Our government called such a debacle a success. The world disagreed and saw only humiliation.

2) The Biden administration allowed a Chinese high-altitude spy balloon to traverse the continental United States, spying on key American military installations. The Chinese were defiant when caught and offered no apologies. In response, the Pentagon and the administration simply lied about the extent that China had surveilled top-secret sites.

3) In March 2021, at an Anchorage, Alaska mini-summit, Chinese diplomats unleashed a relentless barrage at their stunned and mostly silent American counterparts. They lectured the timid Biden administration diplomats about American toxicity and hypocrisy. And they have defiantly refused to explain why and how their virology lab birthed the COVID-19 virus that has killed tens of millions worldwide.

4) In June 2021, in response to Russian cyber-attacks against the United States, Biden meekly asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to at least make off-limits certain critical American infrastructure.

5) When asked what he would do if Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden replied that the reaction would depend on whether the Russians conducted a “minor incursion.”

6) Between 2021 and 2022, Biden serially insulted and bragged that he would not meet Muhammad bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, and one of our oldest and most valuable allies in the Middle East.

7) For much of 2021, the Biden administration made it known that it was eager and ready to offer concessions to re-enter the dangerous Iran nuclear deal—at a time when Iran has joined China and Russia in a new geostrategic partnership.

8) Almost immediately upon inauguration, the administration moved the United States away from Israel, restored financial aid to radical Palestinians, and both publicly and privately alienated the current Netanyahu government.

9) In serial fashion, Biden stopped all construction on the border wall and opened the border. During the 2019 Democratic presidential primary, Biden made it known that illegal aliens were welcome to enter the United States—some 6-7 million did. He reinstated “catch and release.” And he did nothing about the Mexican cartel importation of fentanyl that has recently killed over 100,000 Americans per year.

10) In the last two years, the Pentagon has embarked on a woke agenda. The army is short by 15,000 in its annual recruitment quota. The defense budget has not kept up with inflation. One of the greatest intelligence leaks in U.S. history just occurred from the Pentagon.

The Pentagon refused to admit culpability and misled the country about Afghanistan and the Chinese spy balloon flight. The current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called his Chinese communist counterpart and head of the People’s Liberation Army to advise him that the U.S. military would warn the Chinese if it determined an order from its commander-in-chief, former President Donald Trump, was inappropriate.

This list of these self-inflicted disasters could be easily expanded.

But the examples explain well enough why our emboldened enemies do not fear us, our triangulating allies judge us unreliable, and calculating neutrals assume America is in descent and too dangerous to join.

Yet without America, the result is a new Chinese order in which, to quote the historian Thucydides, “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”

Article cross-posted from our premium news partners at The Epoch Times.

This article by Roy Green over at Natural News highlights two realities that more Americans need to know. First, the invasion at our southern border is horrible but the end results are far worse than they could be because the Biden-Harris regime is letting illegal aliens in but not making them leave. When CBP officials say they’re only removing a fraction, what they really mean is they’re barely removing anyone at all. The second reality is that under President Trump’s policies, illegal aliens were removed in far greater numbers. Some point to Obama having higher deportation numbers, but they forget that the “Remain in Mexico” policy that kept asylum seekers on the southern side of the border did not contribute to deportation statistics.

With that said, here’s the article by Roy Green…

President Joe Biden has turned the United States into a haven for illegal aliens.

Under his administration, a record number of immigrants have entered the country illegally, mostly by way of the southern border. In the same manner, the fewest number of illegals were sent back home. Naturally, these aliens have swelled to alarming proportions, causing a big drain on the country’s economy and further spiking inflation.

Further, their sustained growth is alarming. According to Statista, there were 11.39 million illegals in the U.S. in 2018. It ballooned to 15.5 million last year based on Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) data.

These figures are hardly surprising, considering the policies favoring the aliens laid out by Biden since he took the helm on Jan. 20, 2021. Biden junked former President Donald Trump’s policies designed to keep the illegals out, including stopping the construction of the border wall.

Now, the implications of what Biden has done are being unraveled, even by his own people.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody pointed to the recent testimony of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations Executive Director Corey Price as evidence that the Biden administration is intentionally under-enforcing federal immigration law in a way that has never been seen. (Related: Biden orders ICE to stop deporting illegal alien sex offenders.)

The Biden administration’s officials are “flagrantly violating the very federal laws they swore to uphold,” said Moody, citing as an example Price’s testimony on Sept. 9, during the deposition process of Moody’s lawsuit against Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other border authorities. A video of Florida Chief Deputy Attorney General John Guard questioning Price was aired by Fox News.

Fox News also presented data showing that “from 2008 through 2016, ICE removed about 400,000 illegal immigrants, and never less than 230,000 per year. However, in 2021, under Biden, they had only deported 55,598.”

In comparison, under Trump’s watch in 2020, a total of 236,151 were removed from the DHS and 167,327 were returned, according to Statista. To make the distinction clear, removals are the compulsory movement of an inadmissible alien out of the U.S. by court order, while returns are the movement of a deportable alien out of the U.S. without an order.

According to Price, “border authorities had detained only about 40 percent of the illegal immigrants in 2021 than they did in 2019 under the Trump administration.”

Moody told Fox News: “Our deposition provides even more proof that the Bid

Biden purposely failing to enforce the law, detain inadmissible immigrants

en administration is intentionally under-enforcing federal immigration law in a way that has never been seen. At every phase of the process, Biden is purposely failing to enforce the law and detain and remove inadmissible immigrants.”

No wonder, FAIR estimates that about 4.9 million aliens have invaded the country in 18 months under the Biden administration with many of them already integrating into communities.

The ICE officials tried to dissuade the government from implementing their “reckless policies” but their advice went unheeded, bared Moody. That’s why she’s pointing at Biden as the culprit behind “the border crisis and the surge in American deaths from Mexican fentanyl.”

The mention of fentanyl is significant because the synthetic opioid is now the leading cause of death for American adults between the ages of 18 and 45. Also, fentanyl got smuggled in through the border, between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people died of fentanyl overdoses, according to data from Families Against Fentanyl.

Last year, the U.S. Border Patrol reported a total of 1,662,167 apprehensions, less than the 1.68 million reported in 2020, meaning tens of thousands of illegals were able to make their way through with thousands more trying their luck daily. On Sept. 24 alone, there were nearly 6,000 apprehensions, according to Statista.

The case of Price wasn’t the first evidence of Biden’s negligence or incompetence in handling the border crisis. In July, Moody tweeted the deposition of U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz.

“After the Biden administration denied that they were engaged in catch-and-release, and that they were responsible for the historic surge at our southern border, Florida got the Chief of Border Patrol to admit, under oath, the truth,” said Moody. “The Biden administration caused the surge, made the border less safe, and is flagrantly violating the very federal laws they swore to uphold.”

No surprise there. Biden has flouted the law and committed blunders since Day 1 of his term. From unconstitutional vaccine mandates, spiking inflation and the exodus of illegal aliens, Biden just couldn’t get it done right.

The answer is his statement about the pandemic being over was Joe being Joe, lost in the talking points he’s been programmed to regurgitate and botch. They just can’t seem to pump him with enough stimulants to keep him from saying dumb stuff, and the claim about the pandemic being over is just an example of him going off the regime’s script. That’s why they’re now busying themselves trying to scare up more concern for the so called autumn and winter surges.

There WILL be another surge, though not one that should concern anyone other than the most vulnerable. This surge will be based on Covid “tests” that are designed to paint every last coronavirus speck as a positive test so they can ramp up numbers and start pushing the latest round of jabs once again. Sadly, they’ve already started that before the so-called “surge” has been manufactured.

I covered this today on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show. Here’s the clip followed by the article by Mary Villareal. Below that is the full show.

The U.S. has ordered over 100 million at-home Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) test kits from domestic manufacturers ahead of a potential case surge in autumn – and the midterm elections. Big Pharma companies are known allies of Democrats, so one can easily figure out where this leads.

But the White House and mainstream media will try to avoid that kind of conversation. In fact, the White House said this is only a short-term solution to the problem.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been warning of a “likely” fall surge as early as April. The Biden administration predicted nearly 100 million Americans getting infections in the fall and winter, warning that the number was a median estimate and many more cases are possible, especially if a new variant appears.

President Joe Biden’s administration has repeatedly – and unsuccessfully – asked Congress for more pandemic funding. Last week, it requested $22.4 billion in emergency funding for the fall.

In a statement, the White House said: “The administration is acting, within its limited funding, to increase the supply of at-home COVID-19 tests in the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) by purchasing over 100 million additional at-home, rapid tests from domestic manufacturers.”

The administration also warned that it would be unable to provide enough tests, vaccines and treatments without more funding. It insisted that replenishing the existing stockpile of at-home tests will help meet some testing needs in the months ahead and will put the U.S. in a better position to manage a potential increase in testing demand in the fall and winter. (Related: Australian COVID-19 test kit manufacturer recalls 195,000 at-home kits due to high rate of false positives.)

COVID cases decreasing in September

COVID-19 cases have actually been decreasing in September, after plateauing during the summer months at over 100,000 cases each day.

The decline is not predicted to last long, however, as the combination of waning COVID-19 immunity and colder weather on the horizon will see more people heading indoors, which could send the infections back up. The trend is expected to reverse as soon as next month.

University of Washington epidemiologist Ali Mokdad predicted a rise in reported COVID-19 cases.

“There’ll be a rise in hospitalization and mortality, but not as high proportionally to the rise in cases simply because many of us – the majority of Americans right now – have been either infected or vaccinated or both, so we have some immunity,” he said.

This will be the third fall with COVID-19, and while infections and deaths still remain elevated, much of society has returned to a semi-normal state, with children heading back to school and offices bustling with workers.

However, Mokdad warned that while the Biden administration’s projections remain feasible, the currently dominant variant – omicron – still remains very contagious.

Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health epidemiologist Dr. David Dowdy said it is possible that the U.S. will see number of cases similar to the latest surge.

He posted this question: “I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think that we’ve had about 100 million infections the past three months, so why couldn’t that happen again in winter?”

That alone should be enough to drive voters running to the GOP in November. But there are attempts to suspend disbelief in the failure of Bidenomics, so some voters may actually think the current economic crisis is not the Democrats’ fault. For that reason, there’s another huge issue that needs to be added to the mix: The border crisis.

If we weren’t four months from the midterms, the Biden-Harris regime would be continuing to pretend like there’s no real issue at the border. But considering the illegal alien problems is so blatantly bad and apparent to even the most dense Democrat, the Biden-Harris regime is acting. What are they doing? They’re doing what they claimed they would never do: Build more of Trump’s border wall.

This is pure hypocrisy, of course. Joe Biden himself promised he wouldn’t “build another inch.” Kamala Harris called it racist. Every Democrat on Capitol Hill voted against funding it for years. But with the midterms coming, they’re all suddenly scrambling to get the wall built, the same wall they claimed was a “danger to democracy.”

And the hypocrisy is palpable.

Democrats think you’re stupid. They hope you will forget they fought tenaciously against the wall for the last six years, only to suddenly start panicking to build it up ahead of the midterms so you won’t realize how incompetent they are.

The inexperienced and often unprepared press secretary has taken an embarrassing Biden-Harris regime and fit in perfectly as the media’s incompetent liaison. She even has a catch-phrase that she repeats over and over… AND OVER AGAIN.

There may only be one other person in the White House who has even less of a grasp on what’s happening in America. Unfortunately, that person sometimes sits in the Oval Office when he’s busy not taking questions from the press. In that regard, Jean-Pierre fits perfectly with this regime.

It’s not just that they are stupid. They are banking on us being stupid. They’re going so far as to redefine what a “recession” is and getting Big Tech to help them rewrite history Watch:

This is not a serious White House. This is a clown show, and with the worst president in history being led on a leash by his handlers, it’s fitting that we now have the worst White House Press Secretary to represent him.

We are in a recession. Officially, the White House will find ways to pretend like we’re not, but the accepted signal of recession before the Biden-Harris regime tried to redefine it is two consecutive quarters of GDP decline. That will be announced this week. In the meantime, their spin-doctors are doing everything in their power through corporate media proxies to declare we’re not in a recession. We are, and they know it.

Normally, a recession is what it is and can be handled with sound fiscal policy and efforts to increase consumer confidence. There is a lot of psychology behind a recession. Consumers and producers must have confidence that things are getting better before they actually do, and that really isn’t that hard. But this one is different. It’s manufactured, and not just by the weak actions of the Biden-Harris regime.

On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show (Brighteon, Apple Podcasts, Rumble), I discussed why this recession is unlike anything we’ve faced in the past, what it means ahead of the midterm elections, and most importantly how Americans should be responding to what is almost certainly going to be a crippled economy for the next year or more.

The Liberal World Order wants to keep us spooked, and it’s working. I use MyPillow sales (promo code “JDR”) as my general barometer for the state of consumer sentiment. Sales seem to go up when people are confident and they go down when people are concerned. Judging by sales recently, I would say the people are tightening their belts more than I’ve ever seen.

Here are some headlines from Tuesday alone that reveal the problem is real and getting worse despite claims by the Biden-Harris regime and corporate media that everything is fine and we should just go about business as usual.

Chris Jacobs at The Federalist writes, “Biden’s Economic Delusions And Deceptions Snub Struggling Families

The White House blog post tried to rebut the notion that two-quarters of negative growth constitutes a recession, calling that metric “neither the official definition nor the way economists evaluate the state of the business cycle.” The administration instead claimed that assessments of the economy should take “a holistic look at the data,” and that, due to “one of the strongest labor markets on record and an elevated stock of household savings,” the economy likely continues to grow.

White House economists can discuss “the state of the business cycle” all they want, but how do families evaluate such claims? Most families would logically rate the economy based on the state of their own personal finances. And on that front, American households have spent the past year getting kicked in the teeth.

Brad Polumbo at Based Politics writes, “New Report Exposes One Overlooked Way Biden Has Worsened Inflation”

In addition to pushing massive, wasteful, ineffective spending bills that drove up inflation, the president has also suffocated the economy with unprecedented amounts of regulatory red tape.

The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) highlights this overlooked reality in a new report by Jonathan Ingram, Alli Fick, and Haley Holik that was exclusively provided to BASEDPolitics in advance of its release. It calls attention to the fact that “President Biden is issuing more costly regulations than any other president in modern American history.”

“The [federal government] published more than 72,000 pages of new regulations, executive orders, and agency notices in President Biden’s first year—a record high,” the analysis reports.

“Those new regulations were also far more likely to carry a hefty price tag,” it further notes. “In 2021, the Biden administration finalized 69 economically significant regulations—regulations that carry a $100 million annual price tag or have a substantial effect on the economy—more than triple the number finalized in President Trump’s first year.”

Jennifer Sor at MSN reports, “Nouriel Roubini Says Predictions for a Mild Recession Are ‘Delusional’ as Severe Financial Crisis Looms”

Roubini, also known as “Dr. Doom,” said debt ratios are historically high at 420% for advanced economies and climbing, while bailouts during the pandemic have resulted in “zombie corporations” that put the economy at risk.

In contrast, the stagflation seen during the 1970s was accompanied by low debt ratios, and the debt crisis during the 2008 financial crash saw falling inflation.

“This idea that it’s going to be short and shallow, it’s totally delusional,” Roubini said. His warning goes against other predictions on Wall Street for a mild recession, including those from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Pimco, Nomura, and BlackRock’s Larry Fink.

Why This is Different

Past recessions have been caused by a combination of bad policies, bad circumstances, and low confidence from consumers and businesses. This recession is no different from a cause-and-effect perspective, but the real differences between what we’re experiencing today and what we’ve experienced in the past are twofold.

First, the regime doesn’t appear to be doing anything about it. They’re making excuses and trying to redefine terms, but that only affects the consumer/producer sentiment aspect of recession, and it’s not working. Nobody’s buying it. If the White House wanted to fight this, they would make bold moves rather than feeble excuses. Unfortunately for them AND us, we’re in an election year. The bold moves they could make to bring a swift end to the recession would require capitulating to conservative fiscal ideologies and denouncing the woke, green policies the regime is currently embracing.

Second, there are far more outside factors at play with this recession than any in the past. It seems the Liberal World Order is determined to prolong this recession indefinitely. They need a sustained economic downturn and the collapsing of the U.S. Dollar in order to put The Great Reset in full motion.

What We Can Do About It

There are certain best practices in any recession that still apply even in this manufactured one. But there are a few emergency actions we should also be taking just in case I and many others are right that this is going to be prolonged and devastating. We might bounce back quickly. We might continue to plummet until the end of this nation. It’s best to acknowledge both possibilities and act accordingly.

I went into much more detail about each on the show, but here’s an overview.

Do Not Become a Slave to Money

The most important advice that applies in both a regular or manufactured recession regardless of your financial situation is to not become a slave to money. It’s commonplace in America when the economy is good, but when it’s bad it becomes even more prevalent for people to make all of their decisions around their finances.

This obviously sounds like it runs contrary to the notion that we need to tighten our belts and live frugally, but it’s not. We do need to be more financially conscious, but this can descend into full-blown obsession. Money is the root of all evils, and therefore becoming a slave to it means we are most vulnerable. The idea is not relegated to just the wealthy. Money can be the root of evils for those who are not financially secure as well. Live a Biblical life. That means money is secondary no matter how bad things get.

Turn Your Free Time Into Something Productive

In all of the articles I read and videos I watched about recession, nobody talked about this. On the other hand, prepper articles and videos mentioned it often.

It behooves us during this recession (and beyond) to minimize the time we waste and maximize our time for productivity. That can mean learning new skills that can be useful if finances become too tight to pay others to do something for us. It can mean making money on the side. I know a lady who makes about $200 per month uploading videos of her pets to Rumble. She loves it and it helps pay the bills.

Protect Your Wealth and Retirement

I’m not a financial advisor. I’m supposed to say that before mentioning two of our sponsors sell precious metals. In recession markets, the last thing you want is for your wealth or retirement to be locked into fading investments. Gold and silver have traditionally been hedges against such things. Our Gold Guy specializes in bullion and Goldco specializes in IRAs.

Diversify Your Investments

If you have wealth to protect, it behooves you to diversify through a recession. One of our sponsors, Mass Tort Financing, offers accredited investors an investment opportunity that does not correlate with the stock market. Whether you check them out or any other alternative investment strategy, it makes sense to do so now.

Eliminate as Much Debt as Possible

This is a no-brainer, but it’s challenging when we’re often forced to use credit just to pay our bills due to inflation, job loss, or other financially debilitating circumstances. If you can, assess your debt situation and do what you can to improve on it immediately.

Money paid in interest is money wasted.

Tighten Your Belt as Much as Possible Without Causing Too Much Pain

It’s easy to say, “tighten your belt.” It’s tougher to tell people that our mindset and psyche are often even more important than our finances. Some will take frugality to the extreme and make themselves and their families far too unhappy to be worth the extra cash saved.

Be frugal. Don’t be a tyrant. Lord willing, we’ll make it through this. No need to force depression because money is tight.

Build Your Emergency Fund

It’s hard for many Americans to build a savings when there are so many financial challenges facing us, but there’s a chance things can get even worse. This is why having an emergency fund in the form of cash or items of value is important. Besides, we never know when the crap will hit the fan. Having backup cash ready is always a best practice.

Stock Up on Items You Know You’ll Use

When the 2020 toilet paper rush began, I lambasted people for hording two-year supplies of toilet paper. Today, I have a two-year supply of toilet paper. It makes sense to buy certain items that are definitely going to be used eventually while their prices are still relatively low. Chances are strong that they’re not going to get cheaper in the near future.

Be Ready for Collapse

Will we make it through this recession? Probably. We always have in the past. But this recession is, as noted above, very different from past recessions. It makes sense to plan for the possibility of collapse. If it doesn’t happen, praise God! If it does, we need to be ready.
